Dinner is served M'lord

Dinner is served M'lord
All ready for the daily ritual of dinner here at Penryn Castle. Seating for Lord Penryn and nineteen of his guest here . Strange that the table is set with sweet cakes and fruit but maybe that is how thing were done in the day.

The paintings here form part of the collection of Dutch, Venetian and Spanish paintings. Great names included Canaletto, Rembrandt, Wouwermans, Ruijsdael, Belotto and Palma Vecchio. Many of these pictures can still be seen in the Castle and the collection gave Penrhyn its reputation of being ‘the Gallery of North Wales’ at that time.
PiP shows the castle.

Enjoy full screen.

They knew (and still do) know how to live in these places Gordon. A bit grand for sure but I would not mind giving it a go.

Best Wishes. Herb

Now I look at the photo again, I am inclined to agree with you Stephan. It probably was in fact Dinner not afternoon tea as at first supposed by the cakes and fruit. Glad you liked it.

They knew how to dine in style but of course they had the domestics to prepare all that:-)

Herb Riddle club has replied to Gudrun club
Aye, the gentry knew how to live then as they do today. As you say, probably a lot of domestics to prepare this. The domestic work area's such as the kitchens and preparation rooms here were very spacious enabling perhaps a dozen workers in each of the four or five rooms.

Take care. Herb

A beautifully exposed and nicely sharp and detailed interior shot Herb and very clean for 3200iso.

The dining table looks very impressive as do the paintings on the walls.

Always good to know that someone actually looks at the Exif info Keith. Happy too that you have liked this one. It was quite dark in that room even though it had large windows, as they were covered with a gauze curtain in order to keep out most of the UV light of the paintings etc.

Cheers. Herb
